I'd say it was about %85 Harley's.
They had a "Save the Harley Plant" ride. a few week's back.

Picture this; a two lane black top twenty miles out, nothing else around... Longswamp Inn. est 1874 Rickety porch, Budweiser sign glowing and five HD's leaning over. If the biker dudes are going to a bar, it's in a small burg like Palmerton. The bars in Allentown are already inhabited by some real bad guys.
